Advances in Imaging Techniques of Molecular Oncology (2nd Edition)

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is the second edition of the Special Issue titled “Advances in Imaging Techniques of Molecular Oncology” https://www.mdpi.com/journal/cancers/special_issues/8CO419JVG6.

Imaging plays a key role in the management of cancer patients. In recent years, in addition to conventional imaging methods, advanced radiological and nuclear medicine procedures have been increasingly utilized, providing not only morphological but also functional information and quantitative parameters focused on tumor metabolism and biology. Now, radiomic and radiogenomic features can also be extracted from imaging, adding further important biomarkers. The combined use of imaging data, clinical and genetic profiles, circulating biomarkers, and artificial intelligence enables the design of predictive models, leading to personalized treatment and improved outcomes for cancer patients. The employment of new theranostic and nanotheranostic agents could also contribute to achieving this goal.

In this Special Issue, we encourage researchers to submit their original papers, review articles, brief communications, or comments on “Advances in Imaging Techniques of Molecular Oncology”. Papers that suggest novel diagnostic approaches, such as radiomics, artificial intelligence, and theranostics, are also welcome.

Prof. Dr. Angela Spanu
